Is that how it works?

Neji Hyuga gave Kanami a deep look.

While threatening with force in this way may cause dissatisfaction among many, it is also the fastest and most effective method.

He took a few steps forward and walked to a spot near the center of the classroom.

"Well, everyone, I've come up with a way for us all to pass the exam together."

At this moment, Kanami dispelled the Ghost Lantern Technique, sat back down in his seat, and said no more.

"Oh? Kanami and Neji want everyone to pass the exam?"

Shikamaru Nara rested one hand on his chin, revealing a confident smile.

I wonder what method Neji will use.

Temari to the side, rolled her eyes at Shikamaru and stretched.

What's the point of having an invigilator if cheating on a written exam is allowed? And this guy was even watching the security footage with great interest!

Boring!

Temari can't understand Shikamaru's joy.

Only Shikamaru himself can understand the thrill of setting up extremely difficult problems that countless people cannot solve correctly!

At the same time, he is also looking forward to someone solving the questions he set!

Who in Konoha Village could possibly understand the thrill he felt!

Hmm... Ibiki Morino from the previous year might understand.

Unfortunately, his confidence was shattered by Kanami's open-book exam in the previous exam, leaving him clueless about how to set the questions this time, so Shikamaru had to be appointed as the proctor for the Chunin exam.

"Do you really think we can't get through? Do all the Ninja in Konoha Village look down on people like this?"

"Exactly! So you, Konoha, are just being merciful, huh?"

"Big countries and big villages are just different. They look down on people from small countries and small villages like us. We should be grateful to Dale. Without you, Konoha Ninja, we wouldn't even pass a written exam."

Taking advantage of the situation, three Cloud Ninja from Cloud Village shouted, attempting to provoke a conflict and make Konoha the target of everyone's anger.

Kanami, slumped over the table, felt numb listening to that sarcastic tone.

Small country, small village?

Is the Land of Lightning considered a small country, or is the Cloud Village considered a small village?

However, Kanami ignored him. Once he made a move, the enemy would either die or be crippled. Talking was Kanami's weakest point, so he wanted to see what his brother-in-law would do.

"I can't represent Konoha; I can only represent myself."

Neji Hyuga turned to the group of people who had spoken and calmly said, "You're right, I think you definitely won't get through this."

"What?!"

"Arrogant! What gives you the right to say that?"

"We're all Genin, don't push your luck!"

"Hehe, interesting. I wonder if fighting is allowed in the written test?"

"I never expected to get to watch a performance after answering the questions."

Some of the Ninja who had been hit the nail on the Neji immediately flew into a rage and retorted.

Some others had already used special means to convey the message to their companions, adopting a detached, spectator attitude as they watched Neji Hyuga and these impotent, furious individuals.

Neji's face remained calm, without the slightest ripple.

"Then tell me, how are you going to pass this exam?"

"Of course, we pass the information out! Let our teammates know, then the three of us answer the questions, and if we get 100 points, we pass the exam!"

A Ninja wearing Sand forehead protector stepped forward and shouted confidently.

"Idiot!"

"He's an idiot!"

"Thank goodness they're not from our Kusagakure!"

"Take off that Sand forehead protector on your forehead right now! It's embarrassing!"

Those who had initially wanted to refute Neji were suddenly rendered speechless by this Ninja wearing Sand forehead protector headband.

It was obvious that the person was asking how to pass the exam, so he simply repeated the exam rules!

"He's hopeless. We should just go back and have the Lord Kazekage revoke his Ninja status."

Kanami: "..."

This is a real talent!

However, when the brother-in-law uses his "show-off "Illusionary Ninjutsu, he looks no less Uchiha Sasuke.

Amidst the rising and falling sighs of the crowd, the Ninja wearing the Sand forehead protector quietly retreated back to his seat, casually removing the Forehead Protector and stuffing it into his pocket.

At that moment, he wanted to slap himself.

Why is your pig brain working so fast right now?

He cursed himself inwardly with resentment.

After that, no one in the classroom dared to refute Neji anymore.

Neji Hyuga was stunned; he hadn't expected to be dealt with so quickly by that Sand Village member.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was there to assist someone in getting the job done.

"Well, since I said I had a way to make everyone pass the exam, then I must have found the corresponding method."

"Of course, I'm not some great philanthropist; it's just that my method requires everyone's agreement and refrain from interfering with me for it to work."

Everyone nodded.

If Neji claimed that he was doing this to be a great benefactor and selfless, it would only alienate others.

When someone says they did this because they had to pass the exam, people are more likely to agree with them.

What method do you want?

"Use this wall," Neji Hyuga walked to the half-meter-thick wall separating the classroom from the opposite one, "As long as we transmit the score we want to achieve by hitting the wall a certain number of times, everyone on the other side will receive the information."

"All I need to do is hit the wall four times. Anyone with a modicum of common sense will understand that I need 40 points, while they only need 30 to reach 100."

"Um..." The Sand Village ninja who had spoken earlier stood up apologetically and asked.

Why would knocking four times mean you got a score of 40, rather than that you wanted them to get a score of 40?

Neji Hyuga:...

Someone with a slightly slow mind appeared.

However, Neji patiently explained, "Because the combination for 100 points is 30 + 30 + 40, to get a result of 100 points, the person passing the message must get 40 points."

Otherwise, if the opposing team has two teammates who choose 40+40 points, then they will never reach a 100-point combination. So, anyone who isn't completely stupid can understand this.

"Wow! That's amazing!"

The Ninja's eyes gleamed, as if he had suddenly realized something.

The Ninja from Sunagakure in the classroom all covered their faces, unable to bear looking at them. Fortunately, the other person removed their Forehead Protector, though it was a bit of an ostrich-like act.

"This method is indeed feasible!"

"I believe my teammates wouldn't be that stupid!"

"That's a good idea, but it's true, if this method is disrupted, he himself won't pass the exam."

After calming down, everyone nodded in agreement, acknowledging Neji's method.

"Clap clap clap!"

A crisp sound came from the Monitoring Room.

"As expected of Neji, he really figured out the solution to my problem!"

Shikamaru Nara clapped his hands with a smile on his face.

"Let me help deliver the message; I'm very strong."

A Sand Ninja rolled up his sleeves, revealing his muscular biceps, and walked to the wall with a smile.

At this moment, Kanami got up, stretched, and quietly looked at the Sand Ninja.

In the Original Plot, the Ninja interfered with the brother-in-law leading the whole class to pass the exam was probably him.
